In this conversation, I have an in-depth chat with Lalo Torres, a CrossFit athlete, coach, and CrossFit P.A.C. athlete. We discuss Lalo's background in gymnastics and Cirque du Soleil, his transition to CrossFit, and the challenges of balancing coaching and competing. We also touch on the importance of social media for athletes and the need for great coaches in the industry. I share my passion for creating excellent gym spaces and the importance of offering a variety of equipment and accessories.

The conversation explores the importance of creating a balanced fitness environment that caters to different needs and preferences. It discusses the need for gyms to offer more than just CrossFit classes and to provide a variety of training options. The conversation also emphasizes the importance of coaching and the ability to customize workouts for individuals. It highlights the value of discipline and consistency in fitness, as well as the need to prioritize overall well-being and avoid becoming overly consumed by competition. The conversation concludes with a discussion on building a personal brand and using fitness as a tool for self-expression.

This is Part 1 of a 2-part conversation, as we had so much to cover. Please listen, enjoy, like, and share. Thanks always, and see you in the gym!
